There Is now great deal OF talk about
ESTABLISHING in every island n1oeh-needed

the heart at the right place, applaud 50
humane project. but cannot refrain from
prsSautinc a few remarks respecting the
ioestion Of said establishment. For IN

eminent may choose 10 build the hospital,
and every other week 1t will be possible TO
reach NahukonS from any district of the

the site Of the proposed hospital.
These remarks may also be taken into con-
sideratiou IN the selection of 3 location for

The Country Pastor.

The simple annals of a country pas
tors daily life are uniform and I'M
eventful, and afford little scope for the
biographer's pencil. Interesting and
precious as any work done on earth in
heavens eyes, it is the obscurest posi-
BILE in the worlds regard. Angels look
down upon it; busy, eager, bustling
men heed it not. A calm routine of
lowly though sacred duties, constant,
UNMARRIED ministry of love, it flows on in
still and quiet stream, arresting no
attention by its noise, and known alone
to the lowly home it visits on it's way
and the flowers and fields its waters.
The young pastor of Dun was no eX-
ception to this. He preached the Word
dispensed the Sacred Supper; warned
the careless; comforted the sorrowing;
baptized converts; blessed the union
of young and loving hearts; visited the
sick, the dying; buried the dead
pressed the hand and whispered words
of peace into the ear of mourners
carried to the poor widow and friendless
orphan the charity of the church and
his own; slipped softly into some
happy home, and gently broke the sad
news of the sudden disaster far away:
lifted up the fallen one from the ground
and pointed to him who receiveth the
publicans and the sinners-these things
and such as these, he did in that little
home-walk for twenty successive years
day by day; but that was all. There is
much here for the records of the sky
but nothing, or next to nothing. for the
noisy annals of time.-The Pastor O.
KiSyM.

A Child's Idea Of God.

A mother was trying to impress upon
her little boy, not yet three years old, the
love shown him by the great Father,
to whom his prayers were said. When
she finished, she asked, d" Do you not
love him?" YES" said the child 1;
"when he comes III get yite up in his
lap and kiss him." A little startled,
the mother thought that something
more was needed for the lesson, and
went on to tell him that, though in
visible, God was everywhere at work
for our good-in the air, in the trees,
bringing blossoms and fruit, and be-
meath the earth. The next morning
she put on his wraps, and let him out
into the yard for his morning airing.
1t was early spring, and the snow was
very soft on the crocus-bed beside the
door. He had been gone but mo-
ment, when he rushed back in great
excitement. " Mamma, mamma" he
cried, "God has made flower. Has
hep" said the mother. yes, yes; it
came up veal c'ean out of the dirt"

Our Life-MOrnings.

Let our life-mornings, then, be full
of the golden sunshine of the presence
and the love of God our Savior; and as
you read these lines quietly and alone,
do you, who are fathers and mothers,
make more manifest to your children
that your early blessedness, when you
started on life's journey together, was
found alone in Christ, who has never
forgotten nor forsaken you all life's
journey through. And you, younger
hearted ones, be wise enough to take
brothers. counsel who comes to you
with scrip and staff after some years of
pilgrimage; for his closing word is this,
that the chief joy of life to-day is to
write and to speak of the dear Christ
who made the morning of life a jour
ney in the sunshine, and whose grace
and mercy leave it now pleasant pic
ture in the memory, as filled with the
faithfulness of Christ to his promise,
My joy no man taketh from you."-
The Quiuer.

His Bible Saved His Life.

Samuel Proctor was a soldier in the
First Regiment of Foot Guards, and
took part in the terrible scenes at
Waterloo. He had received religious
impressions in early life, and these
were deepened in after years, so that
he became identified with the few pious
men of the regiment who met for de-
votional purposes. He always carried
his Bible in his trousers pocket on one
side, and his hymn-book on the other.
In the evening of the 10th of June his
regiment was ordered to dislodge the
French from certain wood, from
which they greatly annoyed the allies.
While so engaged he was struck on one
hip with such force that he was thrown
some four or five yards. AS he was not
wounded he was at loss to explain the
cause. But when he came to examine
his Bible, he found that musket-ball

Don't Step There.

A man started out for church one icy
Sabbath morning, and presently came
to place where little boy was stand
ing, who, with choking voice, said.
"Please don't step there" why
not?'' because 1 stepped there and
fell down." sobbed the little fellow,
who had thus taken it upon himself to
warn the unwary passer-by of the dam
ger into which he had fallen. There
are many men in the world who have
good reasons for giving such warnings
as this. The man who has trod the
dark and slippery paths of intemper-
ance, as he sees the young learning to
take the first glass of spirits, or wine,
or beer, has good reason to say to them,
Don't step there, for l stepped there
and fell down" The man who has in
dulged in gambling till he is despised
by others and abhorred by himself has
good reason to say to the young, when
they are entering on the same course,
"Don't step there, for l stepped there
and fell down." How many there are
to-day in prison and convict settle
ments, with regulations ruined and
lives blasted, who could say to the
young man tempted to enter the paths
of dishonesty and wrong-doing, "Don't
step there, for stepped there and fell
down" 1t is well for us to be warned
by the sad experience of others, and it
is sometimes a duty for those who have
fallen by these temptations to lift a
warning voice. There are slippery
places all around us, and thousands are
passing heedlessly along. Let us en-
treat them to beware, and as we re-
member the bitter experiences of our
own sinful lives, let us say to those
who are just yielding to such tempta-
tons, y" Don't step there, for / stepped
there and fell down. '-Baptist Weekly

had struck him just where the Bible
rested in his pocket, penetrating nearly
half through the sacred Book. All
who saw the ball said that it must have
killed him but for the Bible, which
thus literally served as shield. He
was filed with gratitude to his Pre-
server, and ever kept the Bible in his
house, as David laid up the sword of
Goliath, as a memorial. He used to
say, "The Bible has twice saved me
fundamentally: first from death in bat
tie, and second from death eternal."-

SOMETHING you wanted, MADAME"
he queried, as she was going out of the
store. Why, l came in for pair of
shoes, and have waited twenty min
utes and no one has come near me.
I've got tired" "Wait just one min
ute," he whispered. "I've spent
twenty-five minutes with this lady with
the big feet, and it won't take five to
fit your little twos with something
nice" Although she wore fives she
smiled and sat down to wait.
